in the-- jay carney, inevitably jay carney ends up looking stupid because he doesn't know how to answer the question and use today pushing people around and you know, it will be tenacious and get asked about something he doesn't want to get asked about and he wants softballs. >> jon: story to interrupt you, after that press conferences washington post gave mr. obama a rare upside down pinochio. >> that's a brave voice, if you deal with those kinds of criticisms with the liberal mainstream media then of course the answers are seven or eight minutes long and you don't want many questions, but as fred barnes wrote in the weekly standard, a four year press honeymoon and now looks like it will be an eight year press honeymoon. >> jon: we've got the inauguration coming on monday, and judy is rolling her eyes as i phrase the question. how is that going to be covered? can you see the headlines now? >> i think we're going to have more of the same. i think what disturbs some of us is the double standard, if this president does something, if he kills people from 300 feet with a drone, if he draws

negotiations. you can see treasury secretary tim geithner on the far left, jay carney in the middle holding a can of soda basically, this is the whole fiscal cliff negotiation gang. the caption of the photo says this, quote, the only woman facing the with the was, very closely, valerie jarrett. do you see valerie jarrett in the photo? she is right there in near jay carney. it's valerie jarrett's leg. her left leg is sticking out from behind the guy in the blue and white shirt standing next to jay carney. she appears to be wearing black tights maybe or leggings. but funny as it is, the trickery is not why it became notorious today, and it's not why they put it on the front page of the "new york times." it's because out of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven senior staff members advising the president in this photo, only one of the people barely in this photo is a woman. last month president obama held a press conference to announce he is nominating senator john kerry to replace hillary clinton as secretary of state. so john kerry not susan rice. earlier this wee

and fiscal issues. jay carney sort of telegraphed these statements during the briefings last week, the last one was on wednesday where he said, and i pulled up the notes to get it right. he said there are only two options to deal with the debt limit. congress can pay its bill or fail to act and put the nation into default. the line in the sand was clearly drawn during those news conferences with the press secretary jay carney last week. and the president is going to draw his own line when he makes those opening remark just a short time from now. >> is the president going to speak first about the debt ceiling, and do we expect any written remarks about what the vice president has been doing because there is that self-imposed tuesday deadline tomorrow about the gun control debate and what the gun task force, the proposals, that is, what will be put forth by the vice president. >> it's a good question and it will certainly be questions from reporters gathered in the east room about the issue of gun control and what the president is considering as well as what the vice president has heard as a

it was that president obama gets the credit. that's what jay carney said. how does that help what we are seeing unfold right now which is a deal with republicans on capitol hill. how does this help or not? >> it does not help. it far from helps. the speech today we expect would not help either. that is why we saw that report from the congressional hispanic caucus saying don't push the republicans too hard on this. if they are coming to the table let them come in and let them be there, because the president to his own thinking -- we talked about this just yesterday. the president's own way of thinking about what motivates republicans which he says is fear of certain cable news network and fear of conservative pundits and that they only oppose it because they are afraid -- they agree with it but they are afraid to do business with him. for him to come out and take credit for this accord and then further what he is going to do today is come out and talk about more things that he wants. those are not the things that you do if you are trying to entice your opponents into deeper negotiations. if rush limbau

who asked jay carney that question joins us now, peter alexander live from the white house. pete, the nra issued a very terse statement and i'm quoting their statement, we got an invite late friday. we are sending a representative to hear what they have to say. could this be the most reluctant and grudging meeting since the president had lunch with mitt romney recently? >> reporter: well, you heard jay carney say that the white house is there to get input from all parties and the nra says it's here to hear what the white house has to say. that could obviously be a pretty short conversation. clearly in that conversation i had with jay carney, i asked him specifically what their position was given the fact that they have heard some of the recommendations from the nra, the conversation wayne lapierre had with david gregory on "met the press" and that odd news conference they had where they said more guns would be the solution, a good guy with a gun was the best antidote to a bad guy with a gun. the president was pretty skeptical of that. this certainly is picking up over the next se

this question today. jay carney the press secretary was peppered with questions about the issue of women and diversity in the white house saying specifically that diversity is important to this president. he referred to a specific number which is 43% saying that 43% of the appointees by this president have been women in the course of his time inside the white house. that is a better figure than the bush white house and about even with bill clinton's numbers when he was here. >> right. even as the white house did release that cabinet photo as you pointed it out, how much of a second term priority can this be given all of the things that the president is trying to address at this moment? not least all of the economic challenges and the fights that are to come plus the issue of guns and gun violence. >> well, the white house has long said the president, jay carney and others made it clear they believe this white house and this administration should reflect the people of america. should look a lot like the people of the united states. here at the white house the ratio is near even between me

, jay carney signaled president obama would sign it. >> it still has toover come concerns expressed by member of the hus and the senate before it passes both chambers to reach the president's desk. if it does and it reaches the president's desk, he would not stand in the way of bill becoming law. >> so it appears that pressure is building on senator reid to act. meanwhile late today, sources say speaker boehner told g.o.p. members behind closed dors the house budget chairman paul ryan is working on a budget plan that would balance within ten years. boehner says he applauds that goal and shares it. >> bret: mike emanuel live on the hill. thank you. more than 24 hours after promising to respond to the threat of climate change, president obama has something else to respond to tonight. nebraska's governor approved a new route for the controversial keystone oil pipeline to put the ball scarily in the president's court. chief white house correspondent ed henry tells us that is one issue getting a second look tonight. >> attending a prayer service after a long night of celebrating the star

, jay carney was pleased to see the republicans moving in the president's direction. >> the president will not negotiate over congress's responsibility to pay the bills that congress has already incurred. that is true today, it will be true in three months and true for as long as he is president. the house republicans made a decision to back away from the kind of brinksmanship that was very concerning to the markets and business. very concerning to the american people. so the fact that the house republicans have made this decision is certainly something that we welcome. >> but jay carney would not say if the president is willing to urge democrats to help the new boehner plan pass. >> is the president encouraging members of the house to vote for that bill? and would he sign it? veto it? what is the position on the bill? >> as i said the bill still has to overcome concerns expressed by the members of the house and senate, and reach the president's desk. if it does and reaches the president's desk, he would not stand in the way of the bill, the coming law. >> jay carney made this offer o

at the white house. the president is going to las vegas tomorrow and is making a speech and jay carney has just said that his policy prescription, they don't have specific legislation yet conforms with what the senate negotiating committee. this is an important development. >> that's the news right out of this briefing. >> would the president offer his own plan, a detailed bill he would want to move separately? as late as last week there was some speculation about that, congressional hispanic caucus met here with the president at the white house. they said let this gang work, and that's the message from jay carney. under a number of questions talking about, well, there's a difference here between what the president wants and what this group of eight wants, and jay carney said let me show you all the areas they agree, and the president will talk about -- talks tomorrow, andrea, in saying continue a conversation with the american people about immigration. >> let's talk chris and jose about the elements of this plan. we are talking -- if we could put it on the screen about a detailed plan that bas

, the economy shrunk and suddenly first thing they hear out of washington is leader pelosi and jay carney blaming republicans and marco rubio was quick to release a statement, casting the blame right back on president obama. there is no, let's jump into this. let's solve this problem. they immediately start to blame. >> you are absolutely right. one of the things we have to look at, how do we get capital flowing back in the united states economy so we do have growth. we have expansion of small businesses. we look at keorpt business tax rate which is the highest in the world we need to turn that around so we can create opportunities and get people hired and start producing again. another thing we have to be concerned about with this anemic almost retrograde g.d.p. number, you have a federal government that spending 25% of our degrees domestic product and that is going to increase from 30-31% over the next eight to ten years. once again, we have to look at the spending that is being done up in washington, d.c. here in january you see with the payroll tax cut that was taken from 4.2%, went b

at their schools? >> white house spokesperson jay carney issued a statement saying the ad is repugnant and cowardly and that most americans agree that a president's children should not be used as pawns in a political fight. >>> people in the united amariter are worried about their exports. the train on the supply is growing. now this fossil fuel driven nation is considering alternatives. >> reporter: an international exhibition is under way focusing on water supplies and renewable energy. the crown prince of the united arab emirates says they realize they have a limit. >> translator: the united arab emirates has been providing the world with energy for half a century. we'll continue our efforts to provide a stable supply. it's our responsibility as a member of the international community. >> reporter: what prompted the concern is an impending sense of crisis. the gulf nation could lose its status as one of the world's leading oil producers. in 2011, the uae was seventh in terms of production but energy demands in the nation amounting in the face of rapid urbanization and a growing population. one o

the impact of natural disasters can no longer be ignored. white house press secretary jay carney followed up. >> this is not only an issue of helping our climate and our national security >> reporter: some top republicans appear more focused on spending in washington. >> we should start with that nothing else matters. >> reporter: house republicans are of the debt ceiling - but with a stipulation the senate passes a budget inthe white house says it's ready to work towards something lasting. >> what we support is a long-term raising of the debt ceiling so that we don't have any doubt or uncertainty for businesses the simple proposition that pays its bills >> reporter: also on the president's radar in the next four years- comprehensive immigration reform. and in the aftermath of the in washington, i'm tory >> pam: beyonce.lip syncing the star spangled banner it could be perhaps because of the freezing cold temperatures and yesterday during the inauguration. >> jacqueline: hous and cooler temperatur. for the sierras, this is not going to permit much cold air but we're going to see rainfall at

separate executive orders on gun control. press secretary jay carney refuses to shed light on what those executive orders entail. while acknowledging that the administration acknowledges it may have to work with congress to accomplish many of the president's goals. >> when we talk about efforts to reduce gun violence, we are talking not just about legislative action. the president has already identified things that congress has actively considered. either the legislation exists or is being worked on. he called on congress to pass the measures that he believes are important. the measures to deal with high-capacity magazine clips and close loopholes in our background checks and system. lou: the president is scheduled tomorrow to address the media late in the morning. he is expected to reveal the unilateral gun control actions proposed by vice president biden. his executive orders reportedly will include cracking down on those who lie on their background checks, and tougher penalties for gun trafficking, sharing a gun database information at the state and federal level, and better mental he

guards in school when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school. >> jay carney denounced it saying most americans agree a president's children should not be used as pawns in a political fight. although the president was willing to bring other kids in. >> in the let they're julia wrote me, she said i know that laws have to be passed by congress, but i beg you to try very hard. julia, i will try very hard. >> especially for democrats that remember the beating they took in the 1994 midterms after then president clinton passed gun control. now thousands line up at gun show from ohio,be nevada,be home state of harry reid who today called the president's plan thoughtful but did not commit to acting on it. >> a spokesman putting out tepid statement saying they will review the recommendations from the president. they have a major showdown on his hands. >> bret: suicide bombers blew up the vehicle today in three expleasure in syrian city and 22 people were killed there. they forced them to find makeshift shelter in the caves and ruins. tonight we get a first look at someone who ma

to propose to stem the epidemic of gun violence in this country. white house press secretary jay carney apparently doesn't want to spoil the surprise. >> i will not get ahead of the president in terms of what his package of proposals will include. i will simply note that the president has made clear he intends to take a comprehensive approach. >> john: once again as has happened so often republicans are terrified of barack obama's package. we do have some idea of what's going to come from the white house included in that comprehensive approach. some or all of 19 measures identified by vice president's biden's working group that the president could order without having to go through congress such as sharing gun databases giving the centers for disease control the authority to do national research on guns and aggressivively enforcerring existing gun laws. some house republicans don't sound thrilled of the exercise of executive power designed only to protect american lives. kansas congressman him huelskamp told msnbc -- >> it is troubling to me the president says if congress doesn't do wha

by the end of the week. publicly, jay carney avoided getting ahead of president obama. >> i don't have a timetable for any other personnel announcements but i have no new information. or any change information on secretary geithner departure. >> sources say lew is up with of the president's favorites because of the sharp knowledge of the federal budget and no drama style. capitol hill republicans say lew gained a reputation for being arrogant and rigid in the 2011 dead ceiling fight. the top republican predicts a bumpy confirmation process because lew is too political in the capitol hill testimony. >> he refused to acknowledge basic financial certainly and spun numbers in a way that benefited president. he did not show credibility he wants in the cabinet position. >> the confirmation is likely to come in middle of the series of budget battles when congress would be asked to increase debt ceiling. >> congress can limit the debt. and should not allow the e a budget plan from the white house. and the democratic senate. >> but they would prefer congress sort out this. >> this is not a deal

to be instated. jay carney, not giving any daschle details as to what else the president might unveil today, but we do know this will be a comprehensive gun control package. we will have to wait to hear from the president later this morning. ahead of the announcement, the nra is releasing a new ad with a personal attack against obama. it preemptively criticizes him for not supporting armed guards in schools and it calls him this. >> mr. obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but he is just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security. >> president obama has secret service protection for his daughters, sasha and malia. asking if the president's kids are more important than yours. oh, my goodness, secret service protection, pretty customary for the president and his family. more bill next. these talking points, that the right have, about the "heavy hand of government" ... i want to have that conversation. let's talk about it. really? you're going to lay people off because now the government is going to help you fund your heal

's kids more important than yours? white house press secretary jay carney calls it repugnant and cowardly saying most americans agree that a president's children should not be used as pawns in a political fight. the nra is fighting back with its own statement saying, quote, whoever thinks this ad is about preside president obama's daughters are missing the subject. this ad is about keeping our children safe. >>> police in marin county collected more than 800 guns during buyback programs yesterday. people surrendered 827 guns. organizers say each person receives 1 $100 to $200 per firearm. the weapons were collected. no questions asked. police didn't investigate anyone turning in a gun. a second buy-back event will be held next monday on the martin luther king holiday in san rafael. >>> a wife passionately pleading for help to find the killer of her husband and solve this year's first and only homicide so far in san jose. nbc bay area's bob redell is live outside police headquarters. the question is do the investigators have any real leads? >> reporter: no, they don't. good morning to you,

want new action? >>> jay carney at the white house a few minutes ago said the president will move forward in a timely fashion after the vice president's group makes recommendations. carney says many americans would disagree with putting off action following the newtown, connecticut tragedy and allies of the white house say the time to get this done is now. >> the federal government has an obligation to act and prevent tomorrow's senseless deaths by ensuring that guns stay out o of the hands of criminals and those who are are dangerously ill. we should be able to find reasonable common sense reforms that can preserve our rights and protect our families at the same time. >> we expect the vice president's proposals by the end of the month but jay carney would not be more precise with the timing. >> shepard: what about concerns from the other side on the issue, mike? >> there are republicans and rural democrats prosecond amendment worried about washington going too far. >> i think you need to put everything on the table. what i hear from the administration and if the washington post i

invoking the 14th amendment. how would that work? >> the white house press secretary jay carney said a couple of times that the president would not do that, but you saw senate democrats yesterday, specifically a strong worded letter from harry reid saying you have to do this. we have to figure out a way, can't get caught up in this. that's one option, the other option is the so-called trillion dollar coin, which the white house isn't ruling out. jay carney laughed it off this week, but wouldn't rule it out. and that's interesting. out there. another option. >> and the timeline, rachel, on the fight. how is that playing out? >> three fights colliding in washington now. you will recall the sequester got only pushed back by only two months after the last fiscal chief fig cliff fight. that expires in march. the debt ceiling fight, that has to be raised by sometime mid-february, and we have this very consequential fight coming up that nobody seems to know an exact date at this point. awaiting further instruction from treasury secretary tim geithner on his way out. maybe he will give us a

secretary jay carney said there is precedence for the president's actions. >> there are a lot of cases out there with different courts we respectfully but strongly disagree with the decision. it counters 150 years of precedence. >> let's bring in bob kusiak n managing editor. >> evidences not in recess when he made his recess appointment. it was in pro ferm -- pro form precedence. if i simply declare by fiat that it is in recess it will be so. you can't do that you are violating the constitution. bit of an embarrassment from a former law professor. >> it is a tough blow. when the senate wasn't passing bills it was technically in session. the court found 3 to 0 that obama violated article two of the constitution. >> both republicans and democrats have done these type of recessed appointments. it goes down to what is a definition of a recess. if you go back to the constitution and that's what the judges did. they said 80 years after the constitution was ratified no president did a recess appointment like obama did. these guys that were appointed no good. >> in fact the chief judge was espe

, but called for his release and condemned iran so did jay carney at the white house, we've had a tough time getting the state department to issue that statement. it took months and months of being on television and of course, now that the statement's out there we're going back to the people we work with who are not the spokes people and say, okay, jay carney at the white house, the press secretary thinks you're doing your job. how about america need on this, what does it mean? all it means is encouraging her countries that do have diplomatic relations with iran to tell them, this is serious, you need to let this guy go, you're putting our trade and business in danger and worked on pastor usef's case and the vice-president got involved, and involved because the u.s. said, it's a good thing to get involved here. this is american. they need to know from the american government it's the right thing to do. we're getting there, but the state department can do that. and it's public, but at least right now, they're not doing anything. >> harris: jordan, you said a mouthful there. how about america

can tell, by jay carney, and also by leader peulosey and i have the statement by senator marco rubio, is to quickly jump out, release the statement, criticizing the other side. there is no self-reflection on howho to improve things. >> it's the circular firing squad. i think that's what you are talking about. in that case, nobody wins, partial the american people don't win, who are looking for leaders to sit down and analyze the situation and come up with solutions. einstein said it clearly, the definition of insanity is to do the same thing and look for different results. what really occurrence me is how the furthermore reserve is going to step in and stimulate the economy to $85 billion, they are printing to try to buy up our own debt and our treasury bonds so they can stimulate the economy that way. that's know the way to do t. we have to get the right fiscal policy and monetary policy. >> but look at what jay carney said, he blames the republicans for the automatic spending cuts, but he neglects to include that both democrats and republicans agreed to that 2011 debt ceiling with

won't are stronger, jay carney said from the podium, the 14th moment saying it won't work. >> megyn: and telling our viewers, that the democrats, some believe that's a unilateral way that the president could bypass authority that is clearly with the congress, the congress is the only one allowed to raise the debt limit and the president could have some constitutional requirement to do it. >> you're he the lawyer, but my reading of the 14th amendment is that congress shall do this. >> megyn: even the president said i talked to my lawyers about that one and they didn't think it was a good idea. >> right, the president can't violate one constitutional stricture in order to enforce another. i think it's sort of a nonstarter. and what obama is essentially doing, saying it's outrageous for the republicans to have any demands whatsoever and so obama is saying, my only demand is that you have no demands whatsoever. and he thinks he can get away with that. one caveat to all this, the only way he could get away with the unilateral option, if he continues to do what he did yesterday, which is

-out, andrea, and certainly a big part of president obama's second term agenda. >> jay carney has said it's going to be closer to the noon hour, so we're fwrafl for that. it will at least precede our program. all politics being local as tip o'neil would say. ruth, let's talk about the president's news conference yesterday because he said i am want negotiating. i'm not going to give house republicans anything for raising the debt ceiling. it's on them. if they want to take the heat for veterans benefits and social security benefits not getting to people, what game of chicken are we playing here? >> really high stakes game of chicken is what we're playing here. i had the occasion of going back and reading actually the president's first news conference after he became president, and he is talking then about his overtures to republicans and how he hopes he can create habits of good behavior. well, it's been four long years, and that was about the feistiest press conference spurred by nothing other than he just really wanted to send this signal once again. his message was i'm not backing down,

approach. >> sean: although jay carney was hesitant to outline what the president is proposing, fox news learned that an assault weapons ban, universal background checks, limits on ammunition are among the measures that will be announced at the mid day event. in addition to those extremely controversial moves our imperial president will unveil up to 19 executives orders he will take without approval of congress and details of what exactly those orders remain focused on remain sketchy at this hour, but republicans are vowing to fight back against the unilaterally and constitutionally questionable actions. what's this. >> i'm against having a king, i think having a monarch is what we fought the american revolution over and someone who wants to bypass the constitution, bypass congress, that's someone who wants to act like a king or a monarch, i've been opposed to executive orders even with republican president, from one that wants to infringe on the second amendment, we will fight tooth and nail and i promise you there will be no he rock left unturned as far as trying to stop him from usurp

magazines as well as expanded background checks for gun buyers. in washington, jay carney said obama will hold the campaign- style public even to unveil his proposals. >> the president and vice president will hold an event here is the white house to unveil a package of concrete proposals to reduce gun violence and prevent f pture tragedies like the one in newtown, connecticut. they will be joined by children from around the country who wrote the president letters in the wake of that tragedy expressing their concerns about gun violence and school safety along with their parents. >> we will be joined by a gun victim who will be at the event later in the broadcast. obama's gun violence initiative comes as your governor andrew cuomo has signed into law a new measure expanding the ban on assault weapons in his state, limiting ammunition clips to 7 rounds and imposing a mental health screening for purchases of weapons. we will spend the rest of the hour on u.s. gun violence of the headlines. the house has approved a $50 billion package for victims of superstorm sandy after failing to pass

of an attack ad is repugnant and cowardly. those are strong words coming from jay carney. i've been covering this white house for quite a while. i can say that's some of the angriest language i have heard him use. when you ask the nra about this, they're saying we're not making this act just the president's kids, but all kids. a lot of people coming down hard on that ad this afternoon. >> thank you so much. i want to bring in our panel now. with us from washington, democratic strategist julian epstein, former counsel to the judiciary committee. and stephen barton, a survivor of the aurora shooting. now working with mayors against guns. you're there lobbying congress. and as an individual who's been shot in the neck in that mass shooting in aurora, what's your reaction to the president's proposals today? >> you know, i've been hardened by what the president and vice president had to say today. you know, they essentially endorsed what mayors against illegal guns has been working for for many years now. i mean, on a personal level i'm proud to see my president take such a strong stance for gun

and equipment. we're also providing intelligence support. >> that was the white house spokesperson jay carney. emira woods, your final response on what u.s. increasing involvement means? >> i think the u.s. has been involved in mali and turning the military and equipping, barring the military of mali. i think we have to examine, especially u.s. taxpayer dollars, where are they going and what are the results? it is a u.s.-trained army captain who launched the coup in mali and a series of coups since last march. the u.s. has played a very heavy hand in terms of support for the military are ready. it has not brought the results intended. i think what is needed, with the community and others have been calling for is a comprehensive approach that will look at issues of political negotiation, understanding the concerns of the ethnic group in the north, those root causes of this crisis, those concerns must be acknowledged and addressed in order to actually bring about an end to this crisis. as you said, there is a dramatic humanitarian emergency under way. i think until the humanitarian crisis with

mobile app. >>> earlier today, jay carney was repeatedly asked direct questions about the possibility of creating a $1 trillion platinum coin to swoop in and somehow save america from a debt ceiling crisis. his answer, well, it's not yes, but shockingly, it's not a no either. please take a listen. >> you can speculate about a lot of things, but there is -- nothing needs to come to these kinds of, you know, speculative notions about how to deal with a problem that is easily resolved by congress doing its job. >> all right. well, congress should do its job, that was kind of a non-denial denial from jay carney. does this mean there's a trillion dollar platinum coin on the table. our ace political panel, karen finney, guy benson, mark simone. you wrote about this. this is the worst idea i have ever seen. this is a third world banana republic idea that will destroy our currency, credit rating and make us the laughing stock of the world. >> no, larry, you got this all wrong. i have a little bit of a take on this. i'm all for this coin. as a matter of fact, look, we already have washington p

sometime within the next week or so. now, jay carney at the white house today for his part said we wouldn't a longer term extension than that but the president is not going to block this if it clears the congress. here's jay carney. >> the bill still has to overcome some concern expressed by mums of the house and senate before it can pass both chambers and reach the president's desk. if it does and reaches the president's desk he would not stand in the way of the bill becoming law. >> the bottom line, of course, is that having broken the link between specific spending cuts and specific dollar increase in the debt ceiling it becomes easier for congress to shift the fight over spending and taxes and revenue on to different ground. of course, the quester and the -- the continuing resolution to fund the government, but you're hearing some of both parties saying they might even accept the sequester. some of the stakes appear to be fading from these disagreements that paralyzed washington at the end of last year. >> when i heard this original deal profrksd i thought it was on the condition that

secretary jay carney confirmed the president would not unveil specific legislation. the plan unveiled today would be the first major immigration overhaul proposal in six years but one border state democrat congressman castro of texas say that is the devil is in the details. >> we've got to make sure that those measurements, when we have determined that we have secured the border, that those measurements are objective. otherwise you will have fights down the road where folks are saying, well, wait a minute. let's not move on to the second phase of the bill because we have not first completed the first phase. >> besides border security, there's guest workers and employer verification and a path to citizenship for the 11 million illegal immigrants in this country. let's bring in the political panel, "the washington post" nia-malika henderson and latino contributor, raul reyes and michael smerkonish. raul, if people doubt that elections have consequences, look at the issue of immigration reform and look back at the republican primary and the response of the audience regarding immigration reform

and they are going to do it with children expressing concern about the shooting in connecticut. jay carney cautioned r eed repo not to cauti not to assume what is in there. >> i would caution you not to assume what is in there based on an earlier stage of the process. the president will announce the plan that is the president's plan and he will do that tomorrow. >> we can speculate what is going to be in there based on what the president has talked about. including on monday he talked about universal background checks. and a call for a new assault weapons ban. whether or not the president is going to call for executive order. it is unclear whether there will be an executive order component tomorrow. they are going to do the big reveal plan here tomorrow. that is going to require legislation. we had that in 2004. >> it passed in the 1990s and expired an the president said there are not the votes for the weapons ban. the nra active here against the ideas and the president said he was disappointed and that they were talked past one another. >> we go to the lance armstrong scandal. we are talking tens o
